Just answered: I just answered your question. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. The results are not consistent with leukemia. Wish you good health!

Post viral: Leukopenia is relatively common. Sometimes meds used for symptom control such as NSAIDS can cause transient leukopenia as well. Serial counts under the care of a hematologist may help in this setting. Leukemia does not appear likely with limited available information.
